I have a C6 and love it, but I think all Corvettes are real and great. They have had to adapt to the times, and adapt they did. It won't be long until all new Corvettes are electric, and those Corvettes will be real too.

Registered just to concur.

I sat in C8 in a dealership earlier this week. I respect the car and the design, but it's just not the same feeling as my C6.

With the C7s, all the electronics and gizmos take something away.

I can't explain it fully, but I enjoy my C6 more in every aspect.

I think you have not driven a C7 or C8.

I love my C6 and my C7. Easy to prevent cylinder deactivation.

I agree, except for the electronics. To me, the C2 that I had in 1967 will always be the most real Corvette! Over the years, the newer generations didn't appeal to me until the C5, but not enough to buy one. When I first saw a C6 convertible in 05, I new right away that this was the most perfect looking Corvette since my 67 roadster .Chevy should have named it the StingRay2! When I moved from a rust belt state to Florida, I knew the time was right. I'm thrilled to have one more real Corvette with a 6 speed manual, and rag top, before I meet my maker!
